A brief introduction to the history of Wei Zifu. How did Wei Zifu end? How did she die?
There is a historical figure named "Wei Zifu". I'm afraid nine out of ten people don't know him. Even the person with this strange name is a man.
Woman, I'm afraid not many people understand. In fact, this is one of the most important women around Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty (BC 156-87 BC).
Mrs. Wei, your name. Although she was very important, she rarely appeared positively in the historical landscape of that era. Want to know about her life
The ups and downs, but also from her son Liu according to, brother Wei Qing and nephew Huo Qubing. She herself is like a person living in history.
The words on the back are both important and secret.
The origin of Mrs. Wei and the people around her is a typical story: "The nest is full of mud swallows, flying to the branches to make a phoenix." Her mother, Wei Wei, is the handmaid of Hou Caoshou's family in Pingyang. Wei Zifu and Wei Qing are her illegitimate children and half-brothers, so they only take their mother's surname. Dragon and Wei Zifu were brought to the Princess House in Chang 'an by Princess Pingyang, the wife of Hou Pingyang and the sister of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and she was trained to be one of many singers.
The heir to the royal family, the first queen after Emperor Wu ascended the throne, that is, Gillian, who joked when she was young that she was hiding in the Golden Temple, had no children. Emperor Wu of Han dynasty
Princess Pingyang, the eldest sister, was anxious for her brother, so she reserved more than a dozen women from large families at home and prepared to give them to her brother at an appropriate time. In the second year of Jianyuan (BC 139), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved the coffin out of the Bashui River and visited Pingyang House. More than a dozen beautiful women carefully prepared by Princess Pingyang finally had the opportunity to enter the stage for Emperor Wu to choose. But I didn't see any of them. Later, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Princess Pingyang were drinking together, they asked the singer to dance. At this time, the turning point appeared. Emperor Wu took a fancy to Wei Zifu and ordered her to serve and change clothes. In Shangyixuan, Emperor Wu also had a lucky day with Wei Zifu. Back to the banquet, the carefree mood of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was seen through by Princess Pingyang, and Wei Zifu was immediately invited into the palace. Of course, Emperor Wu readily agreed. Princess Pingyang has high hopes for Wei Zifu to enter the palace. Before Wei Zifu left, Princess Pingyang patted her on the back and said, "Even if it is expensive, I am willing to forget it." ("Han Shu? On consorts)
Things didn't go so smoothly. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty brought Wei Zifu into the palace, he forgot her! I haven't summoned her for nearly two years. It may be that Wei Zifu, though quiet and friendly, is not vulgar, but he may not be so amazing that men will never forget him. It happened that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to "expel the palace choosers", and Wei Zifu was also considered "useless", which gave him a chance to see Emperor Wu again. At this time, Wei Zifu looked weak, "Please come out with tears". This lovely performance won the sympathy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. She was lucky instead of being expelled from the court.
Coincidentally, the consummation actually got Wei Zifu pregnant. Although the first child is a daughter, it is very valuable compared with Chen Ajiao who has lived in a backward position for a long time but has no children. Perhaps it was Chen Ajiao's counterexample that set off Wei Zifu's "Ziyi", and then Wei Zifu gave birth to two women for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the first year of yuanshuo (128 BC), the 29-year-old Emperor Wu finally had a son, the fourth child between him and Wei Zifu, Herry Liu. Mothers are precious to children, and Wei Zifu justifiably replaced Chen Ajiao, who was deposed two years ago, as the new queen.
Just as many important events originated from a small accident, Wei Qing succeeded in reversing the strategic relationship between China and Hungary because of his sister's meeting with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing and Wei Zifu were born in a family where Anemarrhena did not "know" their father, and their brothers and sisters were half-brothers. Their mother Wei Tuo not only lives at the bottom of society, but also has a bad lifestyle. Wei Qing is an illegitimate child with a man named Zheng. He went to Pingyang Houfu to be an official. Who is Wei Zifu's father? () I have no idea. It is difficult to know whether Wei's surname is Wei's maiden name or husband's surname. Besides Wei Qing, Wei Tuo has an illegitimate child, and he has a different father. Interestingly, Huo Qubing is also an illegitimate child, and his mother is Wei Wei's second daughter. Just look at these, you can see that this is a messy family. At that time, the demand for women's moral integrity was not as high as that of later generations, and the bottom society and the upper society were as busy as paying attention to the boudoir ceremony. When I met Wei Zifu, Emperor Wu was eighteen. Wei Zifu should be relatively young, probably not completely polluted by this "unhealthy trend", but still relatively pure. It was through this opportunity that everything in this poor family changed. When Wei Qing was young, he went back to Zheng Jia to help his father herd sheep. The problem is that his father has a wife and children there, and Wei Qing is abused. Then he returned to his biological mother, Wei Wei, and became a slave with the Hou family in Pingyang. Later, Wei Qing met a good-looking man who was promised a rich life. For this, even Wei Qing himself doesn't believe it. It is a great luck to be a slave and not be beaten by a stick. How dare you expect more! Of course, he can't predict that in the near future, his sister will become one of the most famous women in the history of the Han Dynasty.
After Wei Zifu entered the palace, she gave birth to a daughter for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which attracted the jealousy of Empress Chen who might suffer from infertility. Wei Qing almost became a victim of this harem struggle. In order to avenge Wei Zifu, Chen Ajiao's mother, Princess Guantao, kidnapped Wei Qing and plotted to kill her. Fortunately, friend Gongsun Ao stepped forward, took risks and went deep into the den to rescue Wei Qing. In the end, he was near misses.
Compared with the great return brought by her sister, what Wei Qing suffered in Princess Guantao was nothing at all. The character of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is notoriously tough. I was very angry to learn that Guan Tao and her daughter tried to attack Wei Zifu by retaliating against Wei Qing. But gave Wei Qing the status of "Shi Zhong" to show his superior love. This means that Wei Qing has access to the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Wei Qing lived up to expectations. In the confrontation with Xiongnu in BC 129, it became famous in World War I and raided Longcheng, a sacred place for the Xiongnu to worship heaven, which opened the brilliant prelude of the Han Dynasty's war against Hungary. More importantly, of the four teams sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in this campaign, only Wei Qing, who led the army for the first time, established the meritorious military service. The other three veterans all ended in failure, and Li Guang captured Xiongnu alive. In the following ten years, Wei Qing led the army and won seven battles with Xiongnu, becoming the hero of the Han Empire. During this period, Huo Qubing, the nephew of the Wei family, gradually came of age, and achieved more impressive achievements on the battlefield than his uncle, winning the appreciation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Because of this, the Wei family's power is also impregnable. The relationship between Wei Zifu and Wei Qing can be divided into three stages. Wei Zifu entered the palace and was favored, and Wei chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. At this stage, Wei Qing got a tight job by relying on her sister and got rid of her slave status. Since then, Wei Zifu gave birth to the eldest son for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and pampered the harem; Wei Qing, on the other hand, has made great achievements, which is a stage of mutual support and interdependence between siblings. With more and more sons of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Zifu is getting old, and the status of Wei mother and son in the imperial court is in danger of declining. However, no famous star in the imperial court can compare with Wei's. The status of Wei Ruyun Zifu, and even that of Liu Yuxin, is largely maintained by the status of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
The problem is that Wei Qing is dead. This happened in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (BC 106). As early as more than ten years ago, Huo Qubing died young. Wei mother and son lost their dependence in the depths of the harem. Webster's opponent also surfaced at this time. Only two years after Wei Qing's death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, regardless of the serious plague of locusts, led a large-scale expedition to Dayuan, a distant place in the western regions, in order to obtain a bloody BMW. To fight Huns, high-quality war horses are of course one of the most important strategic materials. However, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose the commander-in-chief for this operation, he left a message to future generations.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who has always been famous for knowing people and being good at their duties, chose Li Guangli, who was proved to be a mediocre man by history, as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. In fact, we should not consider the problem from the perspective of talents, but from the perspective of "relationship", and we will understand why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Li Guangli to carry this burden. Li Guangli led the troops to fight far less than Wei Qing, but he and Wei Qing have one thing in common. He also has sisters in the harem of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who is the most beloved woman of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. There is an idiom called "falling in love with the country" to describe beautiful women. This allusion comes from Li Guangli's sister, Li Furen, the favorite woman in the later period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. "There are beautiful women in the north, and they are independent. If you care about the city first and then the country, you would rather not know the whole city and country, and it is difficult to get beautiful women again. " ("Han Shu? On consorts)
This famous song, sung through the ages, comes from Li Furen's other brother, court musician Li Yannian. After listening to this song, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Li Furen and took him as his concubine. From this description, Li Furen should be more gorgeous and moving than Wei Zifu, and it has obvious age advantage. Li Furen is not only beautiful, but also very clever. What's more, for Wei, she also gave birth to a son for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, Liu Bo, the fifth son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The reuse of Li Guangli by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is actually a replica of Wei Qing's promotion. From the heart * * *, choose an adult male family and let
He made great achievements in the battlefield and won the title, thus improving the status of this family. Although the practice of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took this as a starting point
Selfish, but still keep the rules of reactive power and not sealing Hou. Li Guangli lived up to expectations on the battlefield, and led the army to crusade twice.
Wan, and later in the process of fighting against Hungary, brought great losses to the Han Dynasty. However, it is undeniable that even if there is no
With an impressive record, he also took the place of Wei Qing. Li Guangli took Wei Qing's place in the army and was replaced by Li Furen.
Wei Zifu's position in the eyes of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. So, is it possible to replace Liu?
Perhaps it was the punishment he received after defending Li Ling in the second year of Tian Han (99 BC) that left Sima Qian with a lingering fear, so that the clues about witchcraft disasters left in Historical Records were obscure. Shi Sheng seems to have an awkward secret pain. According to the only clue, Li Guangli is the most keen to push to replace Liu. If the nephew can inherit the throne and become the son of heaven, it will certainly mean greater benefits to him, but this problem needs a massive movement to solve. This may be the origin of witchcraft curse. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who longed for immortality, lived in Ganquan Palace, a distance from Chang 'an, and relied on eunuchs and envoys to deliver messages between the two places. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent too much energy on seeking immortality, often in a trance, especially taboo witchcraft. Just then, someone publicly accused Wei Ruyun and the prince and cursed the emperor with witchcraft. The informant is a middle-level official named Jiang Chong.
Jiang Chong is just a small role. He dared to expose the queen and the prince. It's hard to imagine that there is no pusher behind him. After receiving the report, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Jiang Chong to search the palaces of the queen and the prince. Jiang Chong completed this task with the spirit of digging three feet deep, which made Wei Zifu's bedroom have no room for a bed. Finally, of course, I got my wish and dug up the "evidence of crime": the Mu Tong doll used to curse people.
That year, Herry Liu was 38 years old in vain. Before he learned to hold his horses, he actually killed Jiang Chong who framed him. This is a bad trick, which not only gives the opponent a handle to kill the imperial envoys at will, but also protects the mastermind behind the scenes. In other words, Jiang Chong's death tells no tales. So Liu, who was riding a tiger, had to launch a pro-soldier guard to resist in armed form. At the same time, all the news reaching Ganquan Palace was bad for Liu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally agreed to characterize the matter as a rebellion by the prince.
Liu Quli, the prime minister stationed in Chang 'an, mobilized troops to attack Liu according to the remote control authorization of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. The news of "Prince Rebellion" is also making a lot of noise in the city. Under the encirclement and suppression of Liu Quli, Liu was defeated and fled, and Wei Zifu committed suicide. Soon, Liu's body was also found and transported back to the court.
Liu Quli, the first hero who put out the "rebellion" in Herry Liu, has a very important identity and should not be forgotten. He is Li Guangli's children's in-laws.
Witchcraft the following year, Li Guangli led the troops to attack the Huns. When Liu Quli went to see him off, Li Guangli said to him, "May King Changyi become a prince as soon as possible. If you are established as an emperor, what are you worried about? " ("Han Shu? The king of Changyi is Liu Bo, so it can be said that he put all his eggs in one basket. But history is always more wonderful than the story written by the screenwriter. Soon after, Liu Quli was accused of "praying with the Second Division to make Changyi di wang" (Hanshu? Liu Quli Biography). The second teacher is Li Guangli. In other words, Li Guangli and Liu Quli were also accused of trying to replace the emperor with witchcraft. Liu Quli was beheaded, and Li Guangli at the front line surrendered to the Huns after hearing the news. What happened in the middle, from the existing historical data, can only be said to be a huge mystery. Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty notice and repent the feud between Wei Zifu and Herry Liu? I don't know. Only a year and a half later, Liu Bo, who had never played a positive role, died. The cause of death is unknown. Some scholars speculate that Liu Bo died of fright after being accused of witchcraft in Liu Quli and Li Guangli. A major historical case is over, and there are still many doubts. There are many unknown gaps in historical facts, and we don't need to fill them everywhere. Looking back on Wei Zifu's legendary life, she is like a rope, connecting the three important figures in the history of Han Dynasty, namely Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Liu Ji, while she stands quietly on the back of history.
